My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Anime is a culture that has continued to expand with the times.

Back in the day, labels like “hero stories,” “magical girl,” or “mecha” were enough to explain what kind of show it was, but now words alone just aren’t enough.

That’s how big a scene it has become.

In this article, we’re doing a special feature on anime songs recommended for men.

From nostalgic, heart-pounding tracks to relatively recent releases,

it’s a lineup packed with masterpieces.

It may undermine the premise a bit to say this, but although we’re calling them “recommended for men,” there are surely songs here that will resonate with women too.

Please take your time and enjoy it to the end.

BURNyama✕WurtS

A track that embodies the blazing heat of a soul where passion and fighting spirit intersect has been born from the collaboration of yama and WurtS.

Depicting the clash of deeply held feelings and steadily rising emotions, this work masterfully balances the powerful force of conviction that lies deep within the heart with the delicacy of its expression.

It will air as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story – Kyoto Inferno starting in January 2025, and the limited-edition CD will include an acrylic stand featuring character art of Makoto Shishio.

It’s a perfect song for anyone who resonates with their own inner passion and those overwhelming feelings that can’t be contained.

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Rewrite (2016 ver.)”

Rewrite ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

The chorus makes you want to sing along! This is a signature work by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, a band that led the rock scene of the 2000s, released as a single in 2004.

It was used as the opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist and became a big hit.

It’s an anisong where rugged guitar rock sound meshes perfectly with literary lyrics.

Thanks in part to FMA’s popularity, it’s also hugely supported by overseas anime fans.

As you listen, don’t you feel like singing it at karaoke?

Heart shapeB∀G

B∀G – Heart-shaped

Heart shape B∀G

This is the theme song of an anime that depicts the adventures of Tar-chan, a feral child raised by chimpanzees in the great African wilderness.

Even amid serious developments, the style never forgets to include gags—that’s a hallmark of the series.

By the way, the original manga contains quite a bit of dirty humor, but the anime tones it down.

Ai Just On My LoveSharam Q

Orphen Lo Stregone OST – Ai Just On My Love

Ai Just On My Love Sharam Q

“Sorcerous Stabber Orphen,” alongside “Slayers,” was one of the two flagship series of the classic Dragon Magazine, and it stood out from other fantasy works with its distinctive style, including a more modern setting.

This song doesn’t feel very fantasy-like either.

By the way, the original novels and the anime differ quite a bit in content.
